POLICE have launched an investigation into the handling of complaints by a former school principal, who is still a senior teacher, of child sexual abuse for almost three decades.

The investigation comes after concerns were raised with the Victorian Institute of Teaching about Jewish communal leader and former Yeshivah College principal Rabbi Abraham Glick.

While Rabbi Glick is not accused of any sexual misconduct, it has been alleged he failed to handle complaints appropriately.

The former Yeshivah College principal still holds one of the most senior positions at the school despite being publicly accused of failing to report numerous alleged incidents of sexual abuse to authorities while in charge between 1986 and 2007.
